Only two episodes remain of The Walking Dead Season 8's first half, and with Rick's plan to take down Negan well under way (but not without its own hiccups), tense times at The Sanctuary are teased in new photos and preview videos from the next episode, including a crucial conversation between Negan and Eugene.

The Walking Dead Episode 8.07 – "Time for After": Negan has to enlist the help of his lieutenants in solving a huge issue facing the Sanctuary; Rick and the group continue to enact the plan.

"Time for After" premieres on Sunday, December 3rd at 9:00pm ET on AMC. Keep an eye out for more updates on the new season of The Walking Dead right here on Daily Dead, and check here for our previous season 8 coverage of the AMC series.

Season 8 synopsis: "Last season, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be.

Feeling powerless under Negan's rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn't be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.

This season, Rick brings "All Out War" to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless -- but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.

Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it's not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom -- Negan and the Saviors' grip on this world may finally be coming to an end."
